Abstract

With this issue, we begin a new series of articles entitled “Controversies in neuropathology.” These will represent brief position papers on controversial topics in our specialty. They are not intended to be review articles, rather will represent “position papers” on topical issues, with a relatively circumscribed and selective bibliography. Authors of these papers are encouraged to present and defend their own views on the subject in question. Most of these papers will be by invitation, but authors who would like to submit an article for this series are encouraged to contact the Brain Pathology editorial office. HVV
